DETROIT, Sept. 26, 2023 ~ Kevin A. Krakora, Managing Director and Automotive Practice Leader at Getzler Henrich & Associates LLC, was recently featured as a guest expert in the current issue of Automotive News.
In addressing how Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are performing in today's market, Mr. Krakora said that most suppliers are "hanging in there" and the top-performing companies have operational costs under control. He added that OEMs are more selective with the suppliers they will support in difficult times, and are willing to entertain strategic price increases only if the supplier has a well-supported rationale and if they are comfortable with the production and delivery of a specific supplier.
Mr. Krakora also discussed other top-of-mind issues in the industry such as vehicle sales and changing consumer demand, commodity costs, shipping, transportation, general inflationary increases on all inputs into parts and services, rising interest rates, consumer financial uncertainty, and production overall appearing to remain stable.
